Sexy In '75!

Every now and then, someone does something so incredibly over the top that I can't help but stop and stare with my mouth agape.

To whoever the fuck scanned what appears to be the entire Sears "Wish Book" Catalog from 1975 and posted it online, I salute you.

...I think.

Question: What's the blond guy in the picture above looking for?

Answer: BREASTS!

I'm guessing that breasts weren't invented until the 1980s, because there isn't a boob to be found in these pics. Let's look at that first picture again... the men appear to be packing more, mammarily-speaking, than the women.

How did anybody manage to get laid in the 1970s? Obviously, they did... because here I am.

No matter how much I'd like to say this is an April Fool's joke, I swear it isn't. Browse all six hundred and sixteen pages (!!!) of this thing by clicking here.

And what's this...? A Winnie The Pooh and Tigger too portable phonograph player for only $28.95? SWEET!!!! And a portable cassette player/recorder with built-in microphone and handle? Now we're jive-talkin' 'bout some real Wish-Book value!

P.S. 1979 wasn't much better. Hell, it might have been worse.

Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!
